From the thundering charges of mounted light horsemen to the grinding advance of armoured tanks, Hooves, Wheels & Tracks chronicles the proud and storied history of the 4th/19th Prince of Wales's Light Horse Regiment — one of Australia's most distinguished military units — and the predecessor regiments whose legacy it carries. David Holloway presents a sweeping regimental history that traces the evolution of mounted warfare into modern mechanised combat, documenting the campaigns, personnel, and pivotal moments that shaped this celebrated corps across multiple conflicts and generations of service. Rich in archival detail and military scholarship, Holloway's account illuminates the broader transformation of the Australian Army itself, from the colonial-era cavalry traditions of the 19th century through to the armoured warfare of the 20th century. The narrative weaves together personal stories of soldiers with the grand strategic context of the conflicts they fought in, making it an indispensable resource for military historians and regimental enthusiasts alike. For anyone captivated by Australia's martial heritage, this authoritative volume raises a compelling question: what does it truly mean to carry the spirit of a regiment forward through the ages?
